How difficult is it backing a 8ft trailer behind Mercedes B+
Thinking of purchasing Mercedes B+ coach and wondering how difficult it will be backing into RV sites with 8ft. trailer.Any other ideas on how to carry more stuff then will fit in coach.

It depends completely on the driver's level of skill.
If the driver has very little experience backing trailers, it can be an exercise in futility, and VERY frustrating.
If the driver has had a lot of practice backing trailers of all sizes (I have known professional truck drivers that could stick a 53 foot trailer into a 10 or 12 foot wide trench in one try, but could not back a single axle trailer with a 16 foot boat on it!), he can do it with little trouble.
I once had a 29 foot Class C, and a tandem axle trailer with a 16 foot boat on it. I could launch the boat with no trouble. However, a previous boat I had was on a single axle trailer, and it was absolutely horrible to try to back down the ramp!
There are just too many variables to make an accurate prediction.
Good luck.
